Exercise 25
Since 1953, many experimental attempts to synthesize
the chemical constituents of life under "primitive Earth conditions" have demonstrated that a variety of the
complex molecules currently making up living organisms
could have been present in the early ocean and atmosphere, with only one limitation: such molecules are synthesized
far less readily when oxygen-containing compounds
dominate the atmosphere. Therefore some scientists postulate that the Earth's earliest atmosphere, unlike that of today, was dominated by hydrogen, methane, and ammonia. From these studies, scientists have concluded that the
surface of the primitive Earth was covered with oceans containing the molecules fundamental to life. Although, at present, scientists cannot explain how these relatively small molecules combined to produce larger, more complex molecules, some scientists have precipitously ventured hypotheses that attempt to explain the development, from lager molecules, of the earliest self-duplicating organisms. (138 words)
1. According to the passage, which of the following
can be inferred about the process by which the
chemical constituents of life were synthesized under
primitive Earth conditions?
(A) The synthesis is unlikely to occur under current atmospheric conditions
(B) The synthesis is common in modern laboratories.
(C)The synthesis occurs more readily in the
atmosphere than in the ocean.
(D)The synthesis easily produces the most complex
organic molecules.
(E)The synthesis is accelerated by the presence of
oxygen-containing compounds.
2.It can be inferred from the passage that "some scien- tists" assume which of the following concerning "
larger, more complex molecules"
(A) The earliest atmosphere was forward primarily
of these molecules.
(B) Chemical processes involving these molecules
proceeded much more slowly under primitive
Earth conditions.
(C) The presence of these molecules would necessarily
(D) Experimental techniques will never be sufficiently
sophisticated to produce in the laboratory simple
organisms from these chemical constituents.
(E) Explanations could easily be developed to
explain how simple molecules combined to
form these more complex ones.

1953年以来，科学家们做了大量实验尝试在“原始地球条件下”合成生命的化学成分，但是，没有任何一项实验能制造出哪怕最简单生物体的复杂成分。虽然如此，他们还是证明了当前构成生物体的复杂分子能够存在于早期的海洋和大气中，只是有一个局限：当含氧化合物在大气中居主导的情况下，一些元素的合成极不容易。因此，一些科学家们假定远古大气层不像今天这样，而是由氢气，甲烷和氨气组成。
从这些研究中，科学家们得出结论：远古地球表面被含有生命所需基本物质的海洋所覆盖。虽然，目前科学家们还不能解释相对较小的分子如何结合起来产生出一些相对较大较复杂的分子，一些科学家们仍然迫不及待的提出了一种假说，试图解释最早的那些自我繁殖的生物体是如何从这些较大分子发展而来的。
Q1：下面哪句能从原始地球条件下，构成生命的化学成分的合成过程中推断出来？
解析：A 正确。此种合成不大可能存在于当前大气条件下。定位至文中line 7- 8，以氧为主的大气中不可能实现。
B 此种合成在现代实验室中很常见。无
C 此种合成更易存在于大气中胜过海洋。无比较。
D 此种合成易于产生最复杂分子。most 推不出。
E 氧化物的存在能加速此种合成。无。
Q2：对于“较大较复杂的分子”，有些科学家设想了哪一点：
解析：A 最早的大气主要有这些分子组成。推不出。
B 产生这些分子的化学过程在原始条件下演化很慢。无。
C 正确。这些分子的存在会推动简单生物的产生。末尾句：一些科学家们仍然迫不及待的提出了一种假说，试图解释最早的那些自我繁殖的生物体是如何从这些较大分子发展而来的。这些人显然持该选项观点。
D 实验室研究永远不可能从这些化合物中造出简单生物来。never太过分，知识现在没有解决。
E 很容易解释简单分子如何合在一起构成这样的复杂分子。现在还不能解释。
It is frequently assumed that the mechanization of work
has a revolutionary effect on the lives of the people who
operate the new machines and on the society into which the
machines have been introduced. For example, it has been
suggested that the employment of women in industry took
them out of the household, their traditional sphere, and
fundamentally altered their position in society. In the
nineteenth century, when women began to enter factories,
Jules Simon, a French politician, warned that by doing so,
women would give up their femininity. Friedrich Engels,
"social, legal, and economic subordination" of the family by technological developments that made possible the recruitment of "the whole female sex into public industry." Observers thus differed concerning the social desirability of mechanization's effects, but they agreed that it would transform women's lives.
Historians, particularly those investigating the history
of women, now seriously question this assumption of transforming power. They conclude that such dramatic technological innovations as the spinning jenny, the sewing machine, the typewriter, and the vacuum cleaner have not resulted in equally dramatic social changes in women's economic position or in the prevailing evaluation of women's work. The employment of young women in textile mills during the Industrial Revolution was largely an extension of an older pattern of employment of young, single women as domestics. It was not the change in office technology, but rather the separation of secretarial work, previously seen as an apprenticeship for beginning managers, from administrative work that in the 1880's created a new class of "dead-end" jobs, thenceforth considered "women's work." The increase in the numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth century had less to do with the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire.
Women's work has changed considerably in the past
200 years, moving from the household to the office or the factory, and later becoming mostly white-collar instead of blue-collar work. Fundamentally, however, the conditions under which women work have changed little since before the Industrial Revolution: the segregation of occupations by gender, lower pay for women as a group, jobs that require relatively low levels of skill and offer women little opportunity for advancement all persist, while women's household labor remains demanding. Recent historical investigation has led to a major revision of the notion that technology is always inherently revolutionary in its effects on society. Mechanization may even have slowed any change in the traditional position of women both in the labor market and in the home.
the main idea of the passage?
(A) The effects of the mechanization of women's work have not borne out the frequently held assumption that new technology is inherently revolutionary.
(B) Recent studies have shown that mechanization revolutionizes a society's traditional values
and the customary roles of its members.
(C) Mechanization has caused the nature of
women's work to change since the Industrial Revolution.
(D) The mechanization of work creates whole new classes of jobs that did not previously exist.
(E) The mechanization of women's work, while extremely revolutionary it its effects, has not,
on the whole, had the deleterious effects that
some critics had feared.
4.It can be inferred front the passage that the author would consider which of the following to be an indi- cation of a fundamental alteration in the conditions of women's work?
(A) Statistics showing that the majority of women now occupy white-collar positions
(B) Interviews with married men indicating that
they are now doing some household tasks
(C) Surveys of the labor market documenting the recent creation of a new class of jobs in electronics
in which women workers outnumber men four to one
(D) Census results showing that working women's wages and salaries are, on the average, as high as those of working men
(E) Enrollment figures from universities demonstrating that increasing numbers of young women are choosing to continue their education beyond the undergraduate level
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
5. Which of the following statement about many employers before the twentieth century are NOT implied in the passage?
A They did not employ women in factories.
women.
C They hired women only when qualified men
were not available to fill the open positions.
6.Which of the following best describes the function of the concluding sentence of the passage?
(A) It sums up the general points concerning the mechanization of work made in the passage
as a whole.
(B) It draws a conclusion concerning the effects
of the mechanization of work which goes
beyond the evidence presented in the passage
as a whole.
(C) It restates the point concerning technology
made in the sentence immediately preceding it. (D) It qualifies the author's agreement with scholars who argue for a major revision in the assess
ment of the impact of mechanization on society (E) It suggests a compromise between two seemingly contradictory views concerning the effects
of mechanization on society.
文章结构：新旧观点型
第一段，首句，it is frequently assumed that 旧观点典型句。解释例证旧观点。最后一句，再次总结旧观点，mechanization of work好，对society好，对women好；
第二段，第二句，提出新观点，technological innovations并没有改变women的position和work性质。例证之；
第三段，继续肯定新观点，因为，however, the conditions have changed little: 一系列的conditions. 倒数第二句，re-summary新观点，新技术不总是对society有革命性effects; 最后一句，even have slowed, 在新观点基础上更进一步，提出，前者甚至slow了后者的change.
Q3 主题题，根据新观点，找mechanization work和women,定位A,E；E明显错误，选A;
Q4 定位第三段的那一系列condition, 比照一下选项，选D;
Q5 根据the twentieth century, 定位到第二段的尾巴部分，had less to do with than with, 说明20c 前，employer employ女性，且是single women.

Q6
only in the number of agricultural pesticides in use but also
in the care and sophistication with which they are used by
farmers. Nevertheless, the proportion of agricultural crops
lost to certain pests worldwide has increased over the same
period, even when the pests concerned have not developed
resistance to existing pesticides.
7. Which of the following, if true. best explains how
improvements in pesticide use have been
accompanied by greater losses to certain pests?
(A) Some dangerous but relatively ineffective
pesticides common 40 years ago are no longer in
widespread use.
(B) As pesticides have become increasingly pest-
specific, controlling certain pests with pesticides
has turned out to cost more in many cases than
the value of crop losses caused by those pests.
(C) Because today's pesticides typically have more
specific application conditions than did
pesticides in use 40 years ago, today's farmers
observe their fields more closely than did farmers
40 years ago.
(D) Certain pest-control methods that some farmers
use today do not involve the use of chemical
pesticides but are just as effective in eliminating
insect pests as those that do.
(E) Forty years ago, much less was known about the
effects of pesticides on humans and other
mammalian species than is now known
Q7：
开头应该是说杀虫剂的数量变多了，但随之而来的农民在想到底用哪个的这种考虑也增加了！害虫多，吃庄稼要花钱；但是使用杀虫剂也要花钱；如果不划算，农民就不愿意用了！
就是这样的一个关系。正确答案C；
Researchers are finding that in many ways an individual
bacterium is more analogous to a component cell of a
multicellular organism than it is to a free-living,
autonomous organism. Anabaena, a freshwater bacteria is a
case in point. Among photosynthetic bacteria, Anabaena is
unusual: it is capable of both photosynthesis and nitrogen
fixation. Within a single cell, these two biochemical
processes are incompatible: oxygen produced during
photosynthesis, inactivates the nitrogenase required for
these processes can coexist. When fixed nitrogen compounds are abundant, Anabaena is strictly photosynthetic and its cells are all alike. When nitrogen levels are low, however, specialized cells called heterocysts are produced which lack chlorophyll (necessary for photosynthesis) but which can fix nitrogen by converting nitrogen gas into a usable form. Submicroscopic channels develop which connect the heterocyst cells with the photosynthetic ones and which are used for transferring cellular products between the two kinds of Anabaena cells. (156 words)
8.It can be inferred from the passage that cell differen- tiation within Anabaena is regulated by the
(A) amount of oxygen Anabaena cells produce
(B) season of the year
(C) amount of fixed nitrogen compounds available
(D) number of microscopic channels uniting
Anabaena cells
(E) amount of chlorophyll in Anabaena cells
9.The author uses the example of Anabaena to illustrate
the
(A) uniqueness of bacteria among unicellular organ-
isms
(B) inadequacy of an existing view of bacteria
(C) ability of unicellular organisms to engage in photosynthesis
(D) variability of a freshwater bacteria
(E) difficulty of investigating even the simplest
unicellular organisms
Scholars often fail to see that music played an important
role in the preservation of African culture in the United States. They correctly note that slavery stripped some cultural elements from Black people-their political and economic systems-but they underestimate the significance of music in sustaining other African cultural values. African music, unlike the music of some other cultures, was based on a total vision of life in which music was not an isolated social domain. In African culture music was pervasive, serving not only religion, but all phases of life, including birth, death, work, and play. Music, like art in general, was so inextricably a part of African culture that it became a crucial means of preserving the culture during and after the dislocations of slavery.
10. In the argument given , the two highlighted portions
play which of the following roles?
○A The first sentence introduces the topic of the
passage and the last one summarizes the passage.
○B The first sentence presents a thesis and the last one
further develops the thesis.
○C The first sentence summarizes the main idea of the
passage and the last one paraphrases it literally.
○D The first sentence presents a context for the
discussion of the passage and the last one
summarizes the discussion.
○E The first sentence presents the negative thesis of the
passage and the last one presents the positive thesis.

研究者正在许多方面发现，细菌更类似于一种多细胞有机体的组成细胞而不是一种独立的有机体细胞。Anabaena，这种淡水藻菌类就恰是这样的例子。在促进光合作用的细菌中，Anabaena很不寻常：它既能促进光合作用又能固氮。在单细胞中，这两个生化过程是不可能同时存在的，因为光合作用所产生的氧阻止了固氮作用中固氮酶的作用。然而，在Anabaena菌落中，这种过程却可以共存。当固氮化合物丰富的时候，Anabaena确实是促进光合作用的，它们的细胞也都相似。但当氮素含量低时，就会产生一种被称为异形细胞的特殊细胞，这种细胞缺乏叶绿素ll，但却可以通过将氮气转移为可吸收形式来进行固氮。形成的亚显微通道连接了异形细胞与促进光合作用的细胞，并在两类Anabaena细胞中传递细胞产物。
I. 文章结构
首句，TS, individual bacterium 更像多细胞生物的一个component cell.
其余部分，以Anabaena例证之。
Q8 定位In Anabaena communities, however, these processes can coexist. When fixed nitrogen compounds are abundant... When nitrogen levels are low... 显然，细胞的不同是由于nitrogen level的不同，选C;
Q9 举例的作用是为了？Anabaena, a freshwater bacteria is a case in point. 全文都是在说Anabaena 的不寻常，所以看到uniqueness就没错了！选A

学者们经常无从认识到，在美国，音乐在非洲文化的保存中曾发挥了至为重要的作用。虽然这些学者不无道理地指出，奴隶制从黑人身上剥夺了某些文化因素——他们的政治与经济体制，但学者们没能充分估计到音乐在维系其它非洲文化价值方面的重要性。与某些其它文化的音乐所不同，非洲音乐以对人生的全部理解为其基础，这其中，音乐并非是一种孤立的社会范畴。在非洲文化中，音乐无所不在，充斥着一切，不仅仅有服务于宗教，而且服务于生活的所有方面，包括生老病死，工
作与娱乐。一个社会所: 创造出来藉以使其自身生生不息、恒久不衰的方法得以形成产生，以保存在这个社会看来具有本质意义的文化遗产的各个方面。音乐，犹如一般意义上的艺术一样，构成了非洲文化中如此不可分割的一个部分，以至于它在奴隶制的解体过程中以及在奴隶制解体之后，变成了保存文化的至关重要的手段。
Q10：negative thesis和positive thesis，就是从负面和正面两方面说。都是main idea，选E

GRE阅读小笔记Exercise 7 Hydrogeology is a science dealing with the properties, distribution, and circulation of water on the surface of the land, in the soil and underlying rocks, and Line in the atmosphere. The term ―geohydrology∥ is 5 sometimes erroneously used as a synonym for ―hydrogeology.∥ Geohydrology is concerned with underground water. There are many formations that contain water but are not part of the hydrologic cycle because of geologic changes that have isolated them 10 underground. These systems are properly termed geohydrologic but not hydrogeologic. Only when a system possesses natural or artificial boundaries that associate the water within it with the hydrologic cycle may the entire system properly be termed hydrogeologic. (107 words) ==================================== 1. It can be inferred that which of the following is most likely to be the subject of study by a geohydrologist? (A) Soft, porous rock being worn away by a waterfall (B) Water depositing minerals on the banks of a gorge through which the water runs (C) The trapping of water in a sealed underground rock cavern through the action of an earthquake (D) Water becoming unfit to drink through the release of pollutants into it from a manufacturing plant (E) The changing course of a river channel as the action of the water wears away the rocks past which the river flows 2. The author refers to ―many formations∥ primarily in order to (A) clarify a distinction (B) introduce a subject (C) draw an analogy (D) emphasize a similarity
阅读下面的文字，完成各题。 流浪的名著 蒋新 ①中午的文化市场已经退去沸腾和热闹，人头攒动与淘宝捡漏的各色眼神终于渐渐收场，给这个季节的清冷腾出许多可以畅快呼吸的空间。冷风重新凝聚，换挡提速，自由鼓荡，在人们身边进行新一轮穿梭。冷风里的阳光十分柔和，暖暖灿灿的，宛如尼采的纤细之手，移动着抚摸着地上那些还没有撤走的物品，当然还有我的感觉。那些醒目的枣红色，宛如一群被冷落被流浪的红鹤，倔强在那个杂乱的地摊上，无奈而又高贵。 ②蹲下。捡起。端看。眼睛一碰触精装书面上的烫金书名，周身像被灌了一瓶六十二度二锅头似的，顿时热乎起来一一原来是群诺贝尔文学奖书籍悄无声息地集结在这冬季里！ ③封面：《诺贝尔文学奖全集·41》，主编：陈映真。获奖年度：1966年。获得者：以色列作家约瑟夫·阿格农；瑞典作家、诗人奈丽·沙克丝……我呆了，瞬间把自己雕塑在冷风里。 ④书籍之“书龄”已经超越而立之年，开始在不惑之路上行走，可书们为什么会来到这里？ ⑤我蹲在为阳光抚摸、为冷风扫射的地摊边，迅速将散放的枣红色书一本一本收集到跟前，一共十五本。从书的编码看，十五本只是这套诺贝尔文学奖全集的一部分，后边有无不敢断定，前面应该还有确凿的四十部——因为摆在面前的最小截止书目号是“41”。
⑥“那些书呢？”我抬头问那人，直言不讳。 ⑦“哪些书？没有了，就这些。”黑瘦矮的摊主似乎有些不耐烦。地上那些落满一层尘土的书已被收集在无序的纸箱里。摊主准备走，把空间让给清冷的风。 ⑧摊主见我还在翻看，便跺着脚催问买不买。他急着要走，因为冷，因为要吃饭，因为到了散摊的正午时光。于是询价，掏钱，打包，在柔和清冷的阳光抚摸中，我把那摞枣红色书籍带回了家。 ⑨用白菜价格买来的那排枣红色，宛如钱塘江涌出的一线潮，整齐醒目地摆在书橱中央。然而，望着捡漏得来的书籍和由它们簇成的风景，我却怎么也高兴不起来。 ⑩市场和文化一接轨，就成为买卖文化的市场，一切与文化沾边的标识，比如青铜、陶瓷、字画、家具、钱币、刺绣、木雕等等，都贴着文化的标签，以古董的身份在不同的位置出现和交易。至于真假，新旧，年代，那就考验淘宝者的眼力、胆识和运气。书，自然是文化的，可是，在这交易文化的市场里，除了古籍和稀有版本受到收藏者淘宝者的青睐外，其他都白菜萝卜般地拥挤在地摊上。一堆一堆任人翻、任人找、任人看的书，在这里成为真正的落魄者和流浪者，既失去了“书中自有黄金屋”和“书中自有颜如玉”的高贵价值，也失去了可以归属的身份证。它们的高贵去哪儿了呢？ ?寻找被遗失被冷落的那些高贵书籍，常成为我周末的主题。 ?在不同城市的文化市场和相同模样的地摊书摊上，我寻找到许多高贵的书籍，如四卷本《柳宗元集》，四卷本《乐府诗集》，三卷本
Exercise 11 Many critics of Eamily Bronte‘s novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a ―roman c‖ reading receives more con?rma on. Seeing 5 the two parts as a whole is encouraged by the novel‘s sophisticated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrators and time shifts. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry 10 James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel‘s heterogeneous parts. However, any interpretation that seeks to unify all of the novel‘s diverse elements is bound to be somewhat unconvincing. This is not because such an 15 interpretation necessarily stiffens into a thesis (although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger), but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that, ultimately, resist inclusion in an all-encompassing 20 interpretation. In this respect, Wuthering Heights shares a feature of Hamlet. (164 words) 1. According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the first and second parts of Wuthering Heights? (A) The second part has received more attention from critics. (B) The second part has little relation to the first part. (C) The second part annuls the force of the first part. (D) The second part provides less substantiation for a ―roman c‖ reading. (E)The second part is better because it is more realistic. 2. Which of the following inferences about Henry James‘s awareness of novelistic construction is best supported by the passage? (A) James, more than any other novelist, was aware of the difficulties of novelistic construction. (B) James was very aware of the details of novel-

标题：从清华到阿尔伯塔大学交换全经历·尚友学院街 里面有关于UA的点点滴滴，如果是申请本科或研究生，可以跳过前面交换攻略部分，如果是交换，可以细读。鉴于我(清华热能工程系9字班)是清华大学和加拿大阿尔伯塔大学（University of Alberta）开展本科生交换项目的第一人，义不容辞的想给学弟学妹们留下一些经验教训和建议，遂成此文。这篇文章适用于清华大学欲赴阿尔伯塔大学交换的同学们，同时也可供清华出国交换生以及中国其他大学赴阿尔伯塔大学交换及留学的学生参考。 一、关于交换 清华大学本科生大三上学期和大三下学期有校级交换项目可供同学们选择，同时也会有系内的系级交换项目（例如人文学院、经管学院等）。像我这种系里面没有系级项目的工科男，果断选择校级交换，一般需要提前一年申请，记得关注info上面的申请信息。 第一个问题，必须是，为什么要交换？ 有的人想单纯的去体验国外的学术、生活、文化和思维方式，有的人铁心出国做科研，把交换作为出国的跳板，而我交换则是为了回答一个问题，我到底要不要出国深造？适不适合出国深造？以上的理由都无可厚非，可以确定的一点是，我认识的了解到的大部分同学和学长都认为交换绝对是一件回报大于投入的事情。无论去哪个国家哪个学校，从中得到的思维冲击，旅行的快乐，英语水平的提高，自己掌控生活的快感以及最重要的——在交换期间会比在清华有更多更多的自我思考的经历，说白了，就是一个深刻的自知的过程，明白自己想要什么，想过什么样的生活，因为当一个人独自面对自己的时候，才是最真实的时候。
二、交换前——准备阶段 1、首先是网申，在可以申请的时间段，登陆info——其他信息——外事信息管理——交换项目在线申报（交换项目在线查询系统可以查询XX校有XX人报名）。有任何疑问最好是直接去工字厅古月堂西院（荷园对面）问海外交流部的老师，她们人都很nice。 网申选校，是一个拼人品的过程，从无定数。一般来说美国的学校最难申，加拿大和欧洲的学校次之（当然你有小语种的话去对应的国家会有一定优势），日本韩国等亚洲国家最好申。至于香港台湾的话，变化很大，要看当年有多少人想去。 选校基本原则是专业合适，如果你是工科生，至少要保证去的学校的同类专业存在，去那边有课可上，回来可以课程替代。简言之，两件事，第一件是打开该校主页（如UA的www.ualberta.ca），找到自己的faculty以及curricul um，看每个课程的简介，然后找个学长帮你看看哪些课程和大三要学的课程比较相似，挑出来打印下来；第二件去系里面让管教务的老师帮你看看能不能替代，如果可以，那就没问题了。选择的时候注意时时关注想要交换的学校的已报名人数，这是个简单的概率问题，人多难去，人少好去，一般来说，如果你的学校通过初审的学生数小于该校的名额数，你都八九不离十可以走成的，老师真的很nice。这里重点说一下第二志愿，如果你宁为玉碎不为瓦全，一心只想去佐治亚理工、普度这样的学校，那就可以忽略之，但如果你非常想获得交换这次经历，而不那么在乎大学水平的话，建议你好好研究一下第二志愿，二志愿最好选一个已报名人数小于等于或略大于名额数的学校，可以瞄准加拿大、欧洲或新加坡选校。 2、网申完了还有一堆材料要交、手续要办，包括个人中英文简历、个人陈述等等，这些材料并不那么重要，但一定要认真对待，一个认真的态度、好的写作格式和合适的语气措辞加上够格的简历就能保证你过初审（记得学分绩的硬性要求是前二分之一，不知道改了没有）。 初审一般会刷三分之一左右的人，过了初审老师会给你打电话告诉你面试时间和地点，个人认为从接到通知到面试这段时间比较重要，需要好好重新审视自己交过的材料，老师很有可能会问你一些关于你个人陈述的问题。另外
新部编七年级语文上册课外阅读理解阅读训练及答案 一、部编语文七年级上册课外阅读理解练习 1．阅读下面短文，完成练习。 四月的维也纳 开头几天，四月的维也纳真令我失望。此时的春天似乎只是绿色连看绿色。大片大片的草地上，没有五月那无所不在的明媚的小花。没有花的绿地是寂寞的。我对驾着车一同外出的留学生小吕说：“四月的维也纳可真乏味!绿色到处泛滥，见不到花几，下次再来非躲开四月不可!” 小吕听了，就把车子停住，叫我下车，把我领到路边一片非常开阔的草地上，然后让我蹲下来拨开草好好看看。我用手拨开草一看，大吃一惊：原来青草下边藏了满满一层花儿______白的______黄的______紫的______纯洁______娇小______鲜亮______这么多______这么密、这么辽阔!它们比青草只矮几厘米，躲在草下边，好像只要一努劲儿，就会齐刷刷地全冒出来…… “得要多少天才能冒出来?”我问。“也许过几天，也许就在明天。”小吕笑道，“四月的维也纳可说不准，一天换一个样儿。” 可是，当夜冷风冷雨，接连几天时下时停，太阳一直没露面儿。我很快就要离开这里去意大利了，便对小吕说：“这次看不到草地上那些花儿了，真有点遗憾呢，我想它们刚冒出来时肯定很壮观。“ 小吕驾着车没说话，大概也有些怏怏然吧。外边毛毛雨点把车窗遮得像拉了一道纱帘。可车子开出去十几分钟，小吕忽然对我说：“你看窗外”隔过雨窗，看不清外边，但窗外的颜色明显地变了：白色、黄色、紫色，在窗上流动。小吕停了车，手伸过来，一推我这边的车门，未等我弄明白是怎么回事，便说：“去看吧—你的花!” 迎着细密的、凉凉的飘在我脸上的雨点，我看到的竟是一片花的原野。这正是前几天那些千千万万朵花儿藏身的草地，此刻一下子全冒出来，顿时改天换地，整个世界铺满全新的色彩。虽然远处大片大片的花已经与蒙蒙细雨融在一起，低头却能清晰看到每一朵小花，在雨中都像英雄那样傲然挺立，明亮夺目，神气十足。我惊奇地想：它们为什么不是在温暖阳光下冒出来，偏偏在冷风冷雨中拔地而起?小小的花( )有如此气魄!四月的维也纳( )叫我明白了生命的意味是什么，是—勇气!这两个普通又非凡的字眼，又一次叫我突然感到心头一震。这一震，便使眼前的景象定格成为四月春天独有的壮丽的图画，并终于使我找到了。 （1）在第二自然段的横线处加上标点符号。 （2）在文中括号里填上带有“然”字的词语。 （3）第三自然段中的“冒”字换成“长”字合适吗?说说原因。 （4）作者由一朵朵小花悟出的哲理。 （5）你是怎么理解“它们为什么不是在温暖的阳光下冒出来，偏偏在冷风冷雨中拔地而起”这句话的? 【答案】（1），、、；、、；、 （2）竟然；忽然 （3）不合适，因为用“冒”字更形象、更生动地表现了维也纳的花儿呈现的状态。

小升初阅读理解100篇及答案 一、小升初语文阅读理解训练 1． 意外赔偿 ①那年初春，我在房前的小院里种了一些蔬来。悉心栽培了数月，到仲夏时院子里已是满眼油绿，让人看着心醉。每天我都在这里盘算着能有多少收获。 ②那天天气极好，阳光柔和，没有一丝风。看着蔬莱大多已经成熟，我兴奋地给朋友们打电话，邀请他们来与我分享劳动成果。打完电话，我便骑着单车到附近超市购买烹调所需的调味品。 ③两个小时后，我提着沉重的购物袋推开栅栏门，发现院子的地上凌乱地散落着一些嫩绿的菜叶。天啊！我的蔬菜转眼间已是叶落茎断。这是谁跑进来践踏了我的劳动成果？ ④突然，一个黄白相间、圆鼓鼓的家伙在蔬莱间蹒跚挪动，不时抖动着翅膀发出“嘎嘎”的叫声。我站在那里，气得一时说不出话来，真不敢相信这么一个小东西会把我的莱园糟蹋成这个样子。 ⑤和鸭子是讲不通道理的。但是，我决定要为自己讨个说法。我想起住在隔壁的那个老妇人养了几只鸭子。甚至听人谈论过，那老妇人几十年守寡，性格古怪，与周围的邻居很少讲话，她唯一的喜好就是饲养一些小家禽。 ⑥我按捺着心中的恼怒，用力敲开了她的房门：“请问夫人，您养的鸣子都在您的院子里吗？” ⑦她没有支声，默默地从我身边走过去，弓着腰用她那干瘪的手指指点着地上的鸭子。她反复数了几遍，然后转过头呆滞地打量着我。看得出，她的目光中带着许多疑问。 ⑧ “如果少了一只的话，那么它现在正在我院子里美餐呢！”我直截了当地说。老妇人愣了一下，一言不发地跟着我到莱园子里去找鸭子。 ⑨ 此时，那鸭子依然不停地啃着我的蔬莱。老妇人快步跑过去抱起鸭子，然后站在那儿静静地等待我的发落。 10“夫人，让我说您什么好！请看好您的鸭子，这样的事我不想再看到厖”我气愤地说，但不失礼貌。 11老妇人颤巍巍地点点头，一言不发，而后抱着那只鸭子蹒珊地走了。 12几个月后，老妇人搬走了。之后，我再也没有见过她，而那场莱园“风波”也被时间渐渐淹没了。 13圣诞节到了，轻柔的雪花把快乐的夜晚点缀得宛如仙境。晚上，我邀请了数位挚友到我家共度圣诞之夜。我们正开怀畅饮，门铃突然响了，邮递员给我送来了一个邮包。邮包上没有寄出的地址，邮包外面夹着一封信，上写：亲爱的孩子，你好吗？我曾住在你的隔壁。半年前，我养的鸭子损坏了你的菜，给你带来了极大的不快，我一直很内疚。今天是圣诞节，我要送给你一样特殊的礼物，请一定收下，因为这代表着我的深深歉意。 14我拆开包裹，轻轻剪开深色的密封塑料袋，一只焦黄流油、香气四溢的硕大的烤鸭赫然
[GMAT语法]Instead of v.s. instead的区别 尚友论坛【GMAT专区】 【尚友学堂GMAT公开课】 【GMAT机经专区】 【GMAT资料下载区】 【GMAT黄历查询】 先看下面这两句话，表达的意思重心都是小毛更喜欢青菜。 小毛爱吃菜而不是（Instead of）肉。 小毛不爱吃肉；相反（Instead），他爱吃菜。 在GMAT中前一句要用Instead of后一句要用Instead。 即：一个句子使用Instead强调要做的是后面内容，使用Instead of强调要做的的是前面的内容（instead of的内容是实际上不会发生、不会做的，表达的是一种否定语气）。 简单说：Instead表达“而是要”，Instead of表达“而不是” 下面是具体例子： Instead of (是…)而不是… 强调内容在Instead of前，Instead of的内容不是句子重心真正要做的，而是比照相对句子重心内容的附带对比内容。 例句： Shall we have fish instead of meat today?今天我们不吃肉吃鱼好吗? Give me this instead of that.给我这个, 不要那个。

Gone are the sharp edges and jutting planes of styles from former eras;instead, designers of everything from cars to computer monitors have adopted a cornerless style of smooth surfaces and curves that is more ergonomic, conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape for its own sake.
标题：美国大学教授的各类称呼·尚友学院街 在我们浏览美国大学网站时，会看到professor、associate professor等各类英文词。professor是教授，associat e professor是副教授，这些或许学生能理解，但assistant professor你是否又能理解呢？以下我们整理了美国大学教授的各类称呼，以及他们的职责，或许有助你对美国教师职称的进一步了解。美国大学中除系主任(depa rtment head or dean)之外，还有教授、副教授、讲师等等教员，不像英国的制度，只有系主任是教授，其余都是讲师。与美国教师职称制度相比，中国的情形与美国相近，不过美国的大学更复杂而已。在美国大学中正教授为p rofessor或full professor，其下是副教授为associate professor,而在副教授之下还有一个助理副教授为assistant professor。中国大学里没有这一级。也就是说assistant professor是助理副教授，地位处于讲师与副教授(associ ate professor)之间，而副教授又处在助理副教授(assistant professor)与正教授(professor)之间。与中国职称制度相配套，大家便生硬地认为professor为教授，assistant professor与associate professor均为副教授了。至于instructor是指专职的讲师，lecturer是指兼职的讲师。另外，还有reader，在英国大学里也是讲师，但在美国的大学里只是教授的助手，帮助教授改考试卷子等(correct examinations,themes,etc,for a professor)的人，即我们通常称为助教(assistant)的人。在美国的某些大学里，不称associate professor，而称为adjunct prof essor也是一样的副教授。此外，在美国还有年老退休的教授或光荣退职后的教授，仍然保留着他的头衔和地位的，成为a professor emeritus或an emeritus professor叫名誉教授。一个大学的全体教授的总称叫作profes sorate
Exercise 10 Currently, the paramount problem in the field of biomaterials, the science of replacing diseased tissue with human-made implants, is control over the interface, or Line surface, between implanted biomaterials and living 5 tissues. The physical properties of most tissues can be matched by careful selection of raw materials: metals, ceramics, or several varieties of polymer materials. Even the requirement that biomaterials processed from these materials be nontoxic to host tissue can be met by 10 techniques derived from studying the reactions of tissue cultures to biomaterials or from short-term implants. But achieving necessary matches in physical properties across interfaces between living and non-living matter requires knowledge of which molecules control the bonding of 15 cells to each other—an area that we have not yet explored thoroughly. Although recent research has allowed us to stabilize the tissue-biomaterial interface by controlling either the chemical reactions or the microstructure of the biomaterials, our fundamental understanding of how 20 implant devices adhere to tissues remains woefully incomplete. (159 words) 1. According to the passage, the major problem currently facing scientists in the field of bio- materials is (A) assessing and regulating the bonding between host tissue and implants (B) controlling the transfer of potentially toxic materials across the interface of tissue and implant (C) discovering new materials from which to construct implant devices (D) deciding in what situations implants are needed (E) determining the importance of short-term implants to long-term stability of tissue implant interfaces 2. The passage suggests which of the following about the recent research mentioned in the last
